The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was good.

I'm not a huge fan of scallops, but this recipe changed my mind. The citrus marinade and glaze really brought out the flavor of the scallops. I'll definitely be making this again.

Not a fan. The scallops were overcooked and the sauce was too sweet.

Easy and delicious! I used shrimp instead of scallops and it turned out great. The sauce is amazing.

These scallops were incredible! The citrus marinade gave them a bright and tangy flavor that was perfectly complemented by the sweet and savory glaze. I will definitely be making this dish again!
